The Ice King's Little Trouble Maker-Chapter 622 - 584 Knowing You...

A simple meeting was held.

Everyone was ready to return to the Chu Family hotel to rest.

The Chu Family hotel sent someone to pick them up.

Upon arriving at the hotel, they each returned to their rooms.

All the rooms were on the same floor.

Gu Yanjing and Qiao Yuxian’s room was closer to the elevator, so they arrived first, greeting everyone before entering.

The door unlocked, and the two entered. As they were closing the door, Qin Xia held it and squeezed in.

Gu Yanjing paused as he was about to close the door and turned to look at Chu Zhengran outside the door.

Chu Zhengran looked back at him, equally puzzled.

They exchanged a silent gaze for a moment.

By then, Qin Xia had already pulled Qiao Yuxian inside.

Then Chu Zhengran pushed the door open and entered as well.

Gu Yanjing stood at the door, watching the two unexpected guests enter, and expressionlessly closed the door.

By the time he got to the living room, the three of them were already seated.

Qin Xia and Qiao Yuxian sat beside each other, while Gu Yanjing took a seat on the single sofa.

"What’s wrong?" Qiao Yuxian asked, seeing the bottled-up expression on Qin Xia’s face.

"I have something to tell you," Qin Xia said.

"I can tell," Qiao Yuxian replied. "And it looks like you’ll burst if you hold it in for another ten minutes."

Chu Zhengran chuckled.

Qin Xia glared at him, then looked back at Qiao Yuxian and said, "The sniper might be related to the person you’re looking for."

"Hmm?" Qiao Yuxian’s expression instantly became serious.

She hadn’t mentioned the Peace Pendant to Qin Xia.

Qin Xia knew about Yao Mountain Island, but few people knew about the events before that.

Even Liu Zhou Yuanwei didn’t know.

If Qiao Yuxian didn’t say, they wouldn’t ask.

But they could guess that someone was looking for Qiao Yuxian for some reason they didn’t know.

"He must know you. When you pushed Gu Yanjing back, the sniper instinctively pulled back his gun," Qin Xia said.

She was on the other side of the hotel, watching clearly through the sniper rifle’s scope.

She could tell from the gun’s movement that the gun was aimed at Gu Yanjing.

The withdrawing of the gun was more evident.

Gu Yanjing and Chu Zhengran watched the two women in silence.

Qin Xia continued, "Later, when Gu Yanjing turned halfway and embraced you, the gun targeted him again."

Gu Yanjing raised an eyebrow slightly, his expression unchanged.

"Do you have any personal vendetta?" Chu Zhengran asked, looking at Gu Yanjing.

Gu Yanjing glanced at him and said nothing.

"But if they’re after you, it doesn’t mean they have to kill him, right?" Qin Xia couldn’t understand, "I don’t know why, but at that moment, I had this feeling that the sniper was determined to kill Gu Yanjing. And it felt impulsive."

Qin Xia had been holding this in for a while.

Just now, with so many people around, especially Tang He, she didn’t say anything.

Qiao Yuxian frowned.

Qin Xia was right.

They wanted the Peace Pendant, so why suddenly go after Gu Yanjing? The action of pulling back and retargeting was a determination to kill Gu Yanjing.

Especially if they were indeed the people searching for her.

Then those people are in Jin City right now.

And Gu Yanjing was equally concerned.

They wanted to obtain the Peace Pendant.

But if they couldn’t get it, what would those people do?

Would they possibly try to kill Qiao Yuxian?

Gu Yanjing rubbed his fingertips thoughtfully.

"Alright, I just wanted to tell you about this. Just keep it in mind," Qin Xia said, standing up and patting her shoulder. "I don’t know the details, but if you need help, just let me know."

Qiao Yuxian looked up at her and, after a moment, smiled and said, "Got it."

"Yeah." Qin Xia hooked her chin and said, "I’m heading off to catch up on sleep."

Chu Zhengran stood up with her.

Qiao Yuxian looked back and forth between the two and asked, "You two are still staying in separate rooms?"

"What else?" Qin Xia said. "A single man and woman staying together, what if something happens?"

"What could happen?" Chu Zhengran asked, amused.

"What do you think?" Qin Xia looked at him and asked sincerely in return.

Chu Zhengran meant sharing a room, while Qin Xia was thinking about sharing a bed.

Chu Zhengran was momentarily speechless.

Gu Yanjing watched the speechless Chu Zhengran.

"A lot could happen," Qin Xia said, looking at Chu Zhengran. "Maybe someone else will even show up?"

Chu Zhengran’s eyes flickered slightly, continuing his silence.

"Hey!" Qiao Yuxian stood up, covering Qin Xia’s mouth, and pushed her toward the door, "Go on, sleep, rest, and stop thinking about it, or you won’t be able to sleep."

Being pushed, Qin Xia said as she walked out, "Am I that type of person? If I can’t sleep, I’ll drag you out for a spree."

Qiao Yuxian pushed her out: "If you’re not afraid of Gu Yanjing assassinating you, go ahead."

Qin Xia was pushed out the door, took two steps, then suddenly slipped back in and clung to the door frame, saying to Qiao Yuxian, "Seriously, want to sneak out for a bit? I heard the male models’ quality in Jin City is top-notch."

Qiao Yuxian gave her a wide smile.

What a loud whispering conspiracy.

Chu Zhengran directly grabbed the collar at the back of her neck and hauled her away.

"Hey! Chu Zhengran!" Qin Xia protested as she was led away. "Let go of me!"

"Let’s talk," Chu Zhengran said, pulling her towards his room. "Let’s discuss the issue of male models."

"You want to go too?" Qin Xia asked a killer question.

Chu Zhengran swiped his card to open the door, pulled her in, and shut the door behind them.

Qiao Yuxian stayed at her room’s door frame, watching until the door closed without any intention of going back inside.

Gu Yanjing gently pulled her head back inside. "Still watching."

Qiao Yuxian looked at him, and after a while, with a somewhat meaningful smile, echoed Chu Zhengran’s earlier words, "What could happen?"

Gu Yanjing’s eyes held a trace of a smile as he led her back into their room and shut the door, "Nothing will happen as long as Qin Xia doesn’t make a move."

Qiao Yuxian nodded in agreement.

Indeed, between Chu Zhengran and Qin Xia... Qin Xia seemed the more dangerous.

Gu Yanjing said, "Go shower and rest for a bit."

Qiao Yuxian didn’t move.

Gu Yanjing looked at her: "What’s on your mind? Want to tell me something?"

"I want to see Chen Xi first," Qiao Yuxian said.

No one knew what was happening on Chen Xi’s side.

The police were there, and her family had been notified.

But it would take time for her family to get there, and even then, what could they do?

"I don’t want her to be there alone," Qiao Yuxian said.

"Alright," Gu Yanjing said, "Shower first, and we’ll go together."

"You rest, I can go by myself," Qiao Yuxian stepped forward, leaning into his embrace.

"I’m not tired either," Gu Yanjing said, holding her, "We can rest together when we come back."

"You just want to sleep holding me," Qiao Yuxian rubbed her head against his shoulder.

"Hmm." Gu Yanjing’s voice carried a hint of laughter.

Qiao Yuxian said nothing more, resting quietly in his embrace.

After a while, she pulled away and was about to grab clothes to bathe. Her phone in her pocket suddenly rang.

She took it out and glanced at it.

An unremarked number.

It was Yan Ting’s...
